  • daulvath ECHO (@daulvath) reported

    @BlizzardCS Replacing a dead, unusable account with a current working one. Like for example Overwatch on console. Is there like an option that assist with switching bliz accounts that the users missed? or is this mainly costumer service territory?

  • Vapo_5 Vapo (@Vapo_5) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Idk about PS4, but Overwatch is good on Xbox, it’s just Xbox problems that actually **** it up like ximming and DDOSing

  • GeorgeG07442995 George Green (@GeorgeG07442995) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting Login Error BC-152 on Overwatch. Ive reinstalled and turned restarted my console.

  • GregPoppin metalh3ad Greg (@GregPoppin) reported

    do i play overwatch and grind or do i play cyberpunk and have to save every couple mins cuz it could crash on me

  • RealJoeBoney JoeBoney (@RealJoeBoney) reported

    @sigma_overwatch As much as I like overwatch there are some problems with the game that are still on going today. Regardless of how much I get annoyed at defeats or smurfs it doesn't stop me from returning to the game.

  • TheTruthTTV The Truth (@TheTruthTTV) reported

    @Ult_Charge Overwatch and league of legends were the first games I saw they had different tiers. This is where it's an issue of is it a smurf, account sharer, or a true new player. Only way to fix that probably is having uncapped leagues. But that obviously cuts out all the low players.

  • amiawerewolfyet Drea 🖤 (@amiawerewolfyet) reported

    @nickisnixed Hm that’s true I’ve definitely also spent about the same on OVERWATCH and it never feels like a choice. Would be cool if there was a tool to help us budget when we struggle with these issues and the games designed to give you big boosts of serotonin from online purchases

  • Ott33r Dallas Fuel 😍💙 (@Ott33r) reported

    @Apollo2Bohemian @SamitoFPS yeah but he’s famous for xbox overwatch and everyone that follows him is xbox plus he doesn’t own a pc so he doesn’t know the problems with it

  • mowagy3 HodgyMowagy3 (@mowagy3) reported

    @SNOWB34RRY @CallofDuty I don’t play the game. Moved onto overwatch again. But I want them to fix the game, sbmm, so I can come back. Simple as that

  • Jazox_ Jaz (@Jazox_) reported

    what might be a problem is that my alertbox wasnt showing up in overwatch lol gonna try to fix that

  • hingzbop i love my wife (@hingzbop) reported

    I have had like 5 hrs of sleep in the last 24 and I just turned in my final project for compsci it is time to get drunk and play overwatch and or crash within the next 10 minutes

  • FabulousFook ◡⁔◡ (@FabulousFook) reported

    @GreenOfTheThyme Overwatch... I’d be surprised since it’s not that popular anymore and 2 isn’t out yet, Fortnite... is totally a viable option... I’d even prefer Crash over those two

  • Frank07YT Frank07 (@Frank07YT) reported

    @forestminish Crash Bandicoot Tracer (Overwatch) Goomba

  • lovefoolishhs alex (@lovefoolishhs) reported

    @JustNatanel my reasonable pick is crash my lol pick is tracer overwatch

  • loonarOW loonar (@loonarOW) reported

    Overwatch is done for me until I can fix my computer. christmas can't some soon enough

  • SamIPOMB same without the e (sam from the team) (@SamIPOMB) reported

    @cvsserole @noyeahsure Aint no problem! Ive been slacking on streams and just playing Overwatch. most people dont like watching that. Maybe you would though since you actually play lol

  • Kinsale42 there is beauty in simplicity (@Kinsale42) reported

    @AbstraitWolf This kind of thing is why I refuse to get invested in any WoW beta and why I really don't mind that the Overwatch 2 team hasn't said much. I don't want to get excited about something that doesn't make it into the final product or get let down by broken promises.

  • KurriTweets Kurri ★ Padoru Padoru 🎄🎅 (@KurriTweets) reported

    @_wishcraft I feel like the issue for me at least is that a lot of games, including fortnite went for something real similar to overwatch. I dunno, it's become this "go to cartoony" style

  • nyxiadash nyxia- (@nyxiadash) reported

    @EternalFate__ remember when they announced overwatch two right after the hong kong issue

  • ltsFantxm Lucifer (@ltsFantxm) reported

    @BlizzardCS MY BAD, I forgot to mention it's for Overwatch not Wow. I don't have latency problems when I play WoW though on my PC so it's weird

  • Faccendaaaaaaaa Big Wang Bai. (@Faccendaaaaaaaa) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch so my computer is pretty solid, in fact probably over speced for overwatch but for some reason I get serious and random lag spikes in fights. I firmly do not believe it has anything to do with my computer. Do you guys have any idea?

  • medicinalpcp Alex (@medicinalpcp) reported

    @IllicitScript I act like i didnt waych you stream overwatch before and saw the connectivity issues you were having lol u right

  • Macabees3 Macabees 🇪🇨 🕛🕒🕕🕘 (@Macabees3) reported

    @NintendoAmerica it will be either anyone from mortal kombat, fortnite, yugioh, overwatch, impa or crash

  • dearhexuan zhi (@dearhexuan) reported

    was gonna play overwatch but i met some toxic af players on a quick play??? wtf is their problem 😭 back to haikyuu i go

  • HaonZerimar4L Noah Ramirez (@HaonZerimar4L) reported

    Cyberpunk’s sensitivity is not kind to old controllers , the analog stick drift is bad on this game , this & Overwatch are the only games to give me stick drift . I don’t have any problems with anything else .

  • MooseyMcMan Moosey™ Mechman™ (@MooseyMcMan) reported

    I very nearly fell into a loot box hole with Overwatch a few years ago, but stopped myself just short of buying the first one because I KNEW that if I broke that seal, I'd be in trouble. I'm lucky I did, honestly.

  • CiceroMode Cicero (@CiceroMode) reported

    Wait did they fix my girl Brig in #Overwatch that would be nice #Brigete
